THE EVER PRESENT HELP

                                          THE EVER PRESENT HELP

Few weeks ago, I read in the news about three Mariners who got stranded in an uninhabited pacific island as they lost their way during a heavy storm in the sea. After three days they were rescued by the Navy coast guards who saw the letters on the shore reading from their helicopters:"HELP".
This was spelt by the mariners using the palm fronds in the island.

Psalm 46:1 says God is an ever present HELP in trouble. All of us face situations where we are desperate for help. When nothing seems to be working we then turn to God. We sometimes limit God. We must know that no situation however worst cannot limit the power of God.
What I want to highlight is that He is "ever present" to help us.

The Lord says "Call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things thou knows not". (Jeremiah: 33:3) However deep the pit you are caught in, the Lord’s arm is not short to save you. Whatever chains you are entwined with, the Lord will help you out of it.

In Chronicles 14:11 we read about King Asa, he prayed to the Lord saying "there is no one else like you to help the powerless against the mighty, help us Lord our God for we rely on you....". The Lord indeed helped him!!

Do you call upon the Lord who is an "ever present help"?  Remember the Lord promised us in John 16:7: He will send The Comforter/ the Helper/ Strengthener to be in close fellowship with us. Let us focus our eyes on the promised ever present help!! He will never let us down.
